Contrary to previous plans, MBC’s “Idol Star Athletics Championships” will be maintaining its usual format of airing the season’s sporting events over two parts.

On September 8, MBC stated that the show will be split up over two episodes, as it has been in previous seasons. Both episodes will air during the Chuseok holiday on September 15, with part one running from 5:15 p.m. to 6:35 p.m. KST, and part two airing from 6:35 p.m. KST to 7:55 p.m.
